Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Description of the business

Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was formed in May 2017 under the laws of the state of Delaware to acquire and continue the business originally founded in 1977. The Company is a leading independent manufacturer and distributor of branded hydroponics equipment and supplies for controlled environment agriculture ("CEA"), including grow lights, climate control solutions, grow media and nutrients, as well as a broad portfolio of innovative, proprietary branded products. Products offered include agricultural lighting devices, indoor climate control equipment, nutrients, and plant additives used to grow, farm and cultivate cannabis, flowers, fruits, plants, vegetables, grains and herbs in controlled environment settings that allow end users to control key farming variables including temperature, humidity, CO 2, light intensity and color, nutrient concentration and pH.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the requirements of the SEC for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, or for any other interim period or for any other future year. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, which is included in the 2024 Annual Report. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2024 Annual Report.

On February 12, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, effective February 12, 2025 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time and the Company's shares of common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the commencement of trading on February 13, 2025, under the Company's existing trading symbol “HYFM”. There was no adjustment to the number of authorized shares or the par value. The Company has adjusted the presentation of all periods covered by the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split, including adjustments to net loss per share and other per share of Common Stock amounts.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates include provisions for sales returns, rebates and claims from customers, realization of accounts receivable and inventories, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations, valuation of intangible assets, estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, incremental borrowing rate applied in lease accounting, valuation of stock-based compensation, recognition of deferred income taxes, classification of debt pursuant to certain terms in the Company's credit agreements, recognition of liabilities related to commitments and contingencies, asset retirement obligations ("AROs"), and valuation allowances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business or new information available.

Segment and entity-wide information

Segment information

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information for the purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. The business is organized asone operating segment managed on a consolidated basis, andone reportable segment, which is the manufacture and distribution of CEA equipment and supplies.

For the purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources, the CODM reviews financial statement metrics on a consolidated basis, including net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), and net loss as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net income (loss) is the primary measure of profit or loss reviewed by the CODM. In addition, the CODM reviews consolidated total assets and significant components such as inventories, cash and other assets for the purpose of evaluating financial performance. Significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM are comprised of cost of goods sold and SG&A. The other components of net loss as disclosed in the statements of operations that are not significant segment expenses are loss on asset disposition, interest expense, other income (expense), net, and income tax expense. Therefore, the Company is cross referencing to the U.S. GAAP financial statement measures as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, in connection with adoption of ASU 2023-07. Since the Company operates asone reportable segment, all required segment financial information is found in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes, and within the entity-wide disclosures presented below.

Entity-wide information

Net sales and property, plant and equipment, net and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets in the United States and Canada, as determined by the location of the subsidiaries, are shown below. Other foreign locations, which are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, are included in the United States below.

All of the products sold by the Company are similar and classified as CEA equipment and supplies.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has applied the framework for measuring fair value which requires a fair value hierarchy to be applied to all fair value measurements. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 — Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived from or, corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 — Valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.

The Company measures certain non-financial assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods, work-in-process, and raw materials used in manufacturing products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, principally determined by the first in, first out method of accounting. The Company maintains an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory. The estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based upon assumptions about current and anticipated demand, customer preferences, business strategies, and market conditions. Management reviews these assumptions periodically to determine if any adjustments are needed to the allowance for excess and obsolete inventory. The establishment of an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory establishes a new cost basis in the inventory. Such allowance is not reduced until the product is sold or otherwise disposed. If inventory is sold, any related reserves would be reversed in the period of sale. The Company estimates inventory markdowns relating to restructuring charges based upon business strategies, management's actions with respect to inventory raw materials and products and brands being removed from the Company's portfolio, current and anticipated demand, customer preferences, and market conditions.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows ASC 606 -Revenue from Contracts with Customers which requires that revenue recognized from contracts with customers be disaggregated into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company has determined that revenue is generated from one category, which is the manufacture and distribution of CEA equipment and supplies.

Revenue is recognized as control of promised goods is transferred to customers, which generally occurs upon receipt at customers’ locations determined by the specific terms of the contract. Arrangements generally have a single performance obligation and revenue is reported net of variable consideration which includes applicable volume rebates, cash discounts and sales returns and allowances. Variable consideration is estimated and recorded at the time of sale.

The amount billed to customers for shipping and handling costs included in net sales was $798 and $3,380 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1,463 and $6,672 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Shipping and handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs included in cost of goods sold. The Company does not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods. Contract consideration received from a customer prior to revenue recognition is recorded as a contract liability and is recognized as revenue when the Company satisfies the related performance obligation under the terms of the contract. The Company's contract liabilities, which consist primarily of customer deposits reported within deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $2,608 and $2,611 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded customer deposits of $3,207, recognized $3,056 of deferred revenue, and noted $154 of additional decreases primarily due to customer refunds and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. There are no significant financing components and the majority of revenue is recognized within one year. Excluded from revenue are any taxes assessed by governmental authorities, including value-added and other sales-related taxes that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-generating activities.

Income taxes

The income tax provision is calculated for an interim period by distinguishing between elements recognized in the income tax provision through applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to a measure of year-to-date operating results referred to as “ordinary income (or loss),” and discretely recognizing specific events referred to as “discrete items” as they occur. The income tax provision or benefit for each interim period is the difference between the year-to-date amount for the current period and the year-to-date amount for the prior period.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, and certain other amendments related to income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires a public entity to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting companies to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which makes targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software by removing references to “development stages”. The update also clarifies the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial disclosures.

  1. RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET SALES

Restructuring

2023 Restructuring Plan

Upon completion of a restructuring plan that began in 2022, the Company began a restructuring plan in 2023 (the "2023 Restructuring Plan"), and undertook significant actions to streamline operations, reduce costs and improve efficiencies. Restructuring actions in the 2023 Restructuring Plan were primarily U.S. manufacturing facility consolidations, in particular with respect to production of certain durable equipment products. Restructuring activities included termination and disposal costs associated with inventory, facilities, and headcount reductions, and non-cash charges consisting of fixed asset and inventory write-downs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $656 and $1,721, respectively, for the 2023 Restructuring Plan, relating primarily to cash charges associated with the consolidation and closure of U.S. manufacturing facilities. Of the $656 and $1,721 recorded charges, $577 and $1,558 was recorded within Cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded $79 and $163 within SG&A expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company incurred approximately $362 of restructuring charges, which were primarily cash charges and recorded in Cost of goods sold. The remaining accrual balance of $103 as of December 31, 2024, was settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and there isno remaining accrual balance. Total costs incurred relating to the 2023 Restructuring Plan, from its commencement through completion in the first quarter of 2025 were (i) $9,737 of non-cash charges relating primarily to inventory markdowns, and (ii) $2,034 of cash charges relating primarily to the consolidation of U.S. manufacturing facilities.

2025 Restructuring Plan

The Company initiated a restructuring plan in the second quarter of 2025 (the "2025 Restructuring Plan") to reduce its product portfolio and operational footprint to decrease costs and improve efficiency. The 2025 Restructuring Plan actions entail (i) eliminating a significant portion of the Company's product portfolio, primarily underperforming distributed brands, to improve supply chain and operational focus, (ii) further reductions in the distribution center network and manufacturing footprint including inventory reductions, and (iii) corresponding headcount reductions.

The Company incurred the following estimated restructuring costs for the 2025 Restructuring Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Three months ended September 30, 2025Nine months ended September 30, 2025
Cost of goods sold$753$4,074
Selling, general and administrative142142
Total 2025 Restructuring Plan charges$895$4,216
Cash$246$277
Non-cash6493,939
Total 2025 Restructuring Plan charges$895$4,216

Non-cash charges were primarily associated with inventory write-downs, which were primarily recorded in Cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash charges were primarily comprised of costs incurred to relocate and terminate certain facilities. The Company does not have any material accruals for restructuring charges as of September 30, 2025.

Refer to Item 2. "Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results of Operations – Market Conditions" for further explanation of the Company's restructuring plans. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ from these estimates.

Asset Sales

On May 10, 2024, in connection with the Company's restructuring of its durable manufacturing operations, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CM Fabrication, LLC (the “Buyer”) to sell assets relating to the production of Innovative Growers Equipment ("IGE") durable equipment products for $8,660 (the “IGE Asset Sale”) and retain the proprietary brand and customer relationships. The IGE Asset Sale closed on May 31, 2024, and the Company continues to sell its IGE branded durable products, including horticulture benches, racking and LED lighting systems. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into an exclusive supply agreement with the Buyer to provide for contract manufacturing, which is expected to yield a more efficient cost model.

Assets and liabilities that were sold, disposed or terminated in connection with the IGE Asset Sale included $11,616 of inventories, $3,721 of property, plant and equipment, $2,573 of technology intangible assets, and $90 of other net liabilities. The Company paid cash to terminate the facility operating lease for $1,275 and certain equipment finance leases for $668. The Company incurred an estimated $417 of transaction costs, including legal fees and other transaction-related expenses. The Company recorded a loss on asset disposition of $11,520 on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which included the aforementioned assets and liabilities derecognized, and operating and finance lease termination payments. The Company estimated the amount of cash proceeds associated with the sale of inventories as $4,960 and property, plant and equipment as $3,700, and classified the amounts within net cash from operating activities and investing activities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Pursuant to requirements in the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) consent was obtained from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, to permit the IGE Asset Sale. The net cash proceeds of approximately $6,300 from this transaction were subject to a provision of the Term Loan (as defined below) whereby such net cash proceeds were reinvested into certain investments, such as capital expenditures, with the remainder being prepaid against the Term Loan principal. Refer to Note 10 –Debt for further details.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold approximately 20 acres of the 140 acres of excess owned land at the Goshen, New York location. The sale price less costs to sell were consistent with the carrying value of the land, and therefore no gain or loss was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024.

  1. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed using net loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units ("PSUs").

Diluted loss per common share represents net loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to share-based awards with exercise prices less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive.

The following table presents basic and diluted loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

The allowance for excess and obsolete inventory is subject to change from period to period based on a number of factors including sales of products, changes in estimates, and disposals.

  1. LEASES

The Company leases its distribution centers and manufacturing facilities from third parties under various non-cancelable lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2038. Also, the Company leases some property, plant and equipment under finance leases. Certain leases contain escalation provisions and/or renewal options, giving the Company the right to extend the leases by up to 20 years. However, these options are generally not reflected in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities due to uncertainty surrounding the likelihood of renewal. The Company recognizes operating lease costs over the respective lease periods, including short-term and month-to-month leases. The Company incurred operating lease costs of $2,410 and $7,209 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $2,426 and $7,787 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. These costs are included primarily within SG&A in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and do not include lease termination costs associated with the IGE Asset Sale. Refer to Note 3 –Restructuring and Asset Sales for further details.

The Company has operating subleases and logistics agreements which have been accounted for by reference to the underlying asset subject to the lease, primarily as an offset to rent expense, primarily within SG&A. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded sublease and logistics income of $1,271 and $3,569, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded sublease and logistics income of $931 and $2,454, respectively.

Term Loan

On October 25, 2021, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Obligors") entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, pursuant to which the Company borrowed a $125,000 senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) effective on June 27, 2023, to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") referenced rates with Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") referenced rates. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, any Term Loan that constitutes a Eurodollar Rate Loan that is outstanding as of the Amendment No. 1 closing date shall continue until the end of the applicable interest period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan and the provisions of the Term Loan applicable thereto shall continue and remain in effect (notwithstanding the occurrence of the Amendment No. 1 closing date) until the end of the applicable interest period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, after which such provisions shall have no further force or effect. Such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall subsequently either be an ABR Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan. The ABR Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate (with a 2.0% floor) plus 4.50%, and Term Benchmark Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (with a 1.0% floor), plus 5.50%. The ABR Loan and Term Benchmark Loan credit spreads of 4.50% and 5.50%, respectively, within the Amendment No. 1 have not changed from the credit spreads in the original Term Loan.

The Term Loan matures on October 25, 2028 ("Maturity Date") and is not subject to a call premium. Deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the effective interest rate was 10.93% and interest expense was $3,153, which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and discount of $186. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the effective interest rate was 10.91% and interest expense was $9,556, which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and discount of $556.

The principal amount of the Term Loan is required to be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan, reduced pro-rata by any additional payments made, on the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing March 31, 2022, with the balance of the Term Loan payable on the Maturity Date. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments in the event of (i) achieving certain excess cash flow criteria, including the achievement and maintenance of a specific leverage ratio, (ii) certain asset sales that are collateral, or (iii) upon the issuance, offering, or placement of new debt obligations.

As described in Note 3 –Restructuring and Asset Sales, the Company completed the IGE Asset Sale for gross proceeds of $8,660 in May 2024. The net cash proceeds of approximately $6,300 from this transaction are subject to a provision whereby such net cash proceeds can be reinvested into certain investments, such as capital expenditures. This provision of the Term Loan includes (i) cash investments made within aone-year period from the IGE Asset Sale, and (ii) investments which are contractually committed withinone-year of the IGE Asset Sale and paid within 180 days after entering into such contractual commitment. The amount of any net cash proceeds which were not reinvested required the Company to make an offer to prepay the corresponding amount on the Term Loan. In accordance with this provision, the Company made a prepayment of $4,544 during the second quarter of 2025, and had $760 of remaining contractual commitments. The prepayment amount of $4,544 reduced the aforementioned 0.25% required quarterly installment amounts tozero for the remaining term.

The Term Loan requires the Company to maintain certain reporting requirements, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, and the Company was in compliance with all requirements as of September 30, 2025. The Term Loan is secured by a first lien on the non-working capital assets of the Company and a second lien on the working capital assets of the Company.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 29, 2021, the Obligors entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Revolving Credit Facility is due on June 30, 2027, or any earlier date on which the revolving commitments are reduced to zero.

The Revolving Credit Facility originally had a borrowing limit of $50,000. On August 31, 2021, the Obligors entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the "First Amendment") to increase their original borrowing limit to $100,000. In connection with the First Amendment, the Company's previously acquired subsidiaries became party to the Revolving Credit Facility as either borrowers or as guarantors. On October 25, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a second amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties consented to the Term Loan described above, and made certain conforming changes to comport with the Term Loan provisions. The Revolving Credit Facility was further amended by a third amendment and joinder to the Revolving Credit Facility dated August 23, 2022 (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which several previously acquired subsidiaries became parties to the Revolving Credit Facility and granted liens on their assets. On December 22, 2022, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”), pursuant to which a sale-leaseback transaction was permitted, and certain other changes were made, including a reduction of the maximum commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility from $100,000 to $75,000 and transitioning the LIBOR based rates to SOFR based rates. On March 31, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a fifth amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”), pursuant to which the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2026, the maximum commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced to $55,000, and the interest rate on borrowings was revised to various spreads, based on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio. On November 1, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a sixth amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Sixth Amendment”) which reduced the maximum commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility to $35,000. On May 9, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a seventh amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Seventh Amendment”), pursuant to which the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility was extended from June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2027, the maximum commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced from $35,000 to $22,000, and certain other changes were made, including the addition of a $2,000 availability block, an increase of the cash dominion trigger from less than 10% of availability to less than 50% of availability, and an increase of the fixed charge ratio trigger from less than 10% excess availability to less than 20% of excess availability. The foregoing description of the Seventh Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Seventh Amendment, included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs were $241 and $237 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt discount and deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility is an asset-based facility that is secured by a first priority lien on the working capital assets of the Company and a second priority lien on the non-working capital assets of the Company (including most of the Company’s subsidiaries). The borrowing base is based on a detailed monthly calculation of the sum of (a) a percentage of the Eligible Accounts at such time, plus (b) the lesser of (i) a percentage of the Eligible Inventory, at such time, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in-first-out basis, and (ii) the product of a percentage multiplied by the Net Orderly Liquidation Value percentage identified in the most recent inventory appraisal ordered by the Administrative Agent multiplied by the Eligible Inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in-first-out basis, minus (c) Reserves (each of the defined terms above, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility documents).

The Company is required to maintain certain reporting requirements, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, pursuant to terms outlined in the agreement. Additionally, if the Company’s Excess Availability is less than an amount equal to 20% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment ($22,000 as of September 30, 2025), the Company will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 x on a rolling twelve-month basis until the Excess Availability is more than 20% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment forthirty consecutive days (each of the defined terms above, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility documents). In order to consummate permitted acquisitions or to make restricted payments, the Company would be required to comply with a higher fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15 x, but no such acquisitions or payments are currently contemplated. The Company received a consent from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, to permit the cash settlement of fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, which is described further in Note 2 –Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. As of September 30, 2025, the Company is in compliance with the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for various interest rate options including the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted REVSOFR30 Rate, the CB Floating Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, or the CBFR. The rates that use SOFR as the reference rate (Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted REVSOFR30 Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR and the CBFR rate) use the Term SOFR Rate plus 1.95%. Each rate has a 0.0% floor. A fee of 0.40% per annum is charged for available but unused borrowings.

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company hadzero borrowed under the facility. As of September 30, 2025, the Company would be able to borrow approximately $4 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, before the Company would be required to comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 x.

Other Debt

Other debt of $95 and $93 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, was primarily comprised of a foreign subsidiary's other debt which constitutes an immaterial revolving line of credit and mortgage.

  1. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation plan overview

The Company maintains three equity incentive plans: the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”), the 2019 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”) and the 2020 Employee, Director, and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan” and collectively, “Incentive Plans”). The 2020 Plan serves as the successor to the 2019 Plan and 2018 Plan and provides for the issuance of incentive stock options ("ISOs"), nonqualified stock options, stock grants and stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. No further awards will be issued under the 2018 Plan and 2019 Plan. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 295,064 shares were available for grant under the 2020 Plan.

The Incentive Plans are administered by the Company's board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors may delegate concurrent responsibility for administering each plan, including with respect to designated classes of persons eligible to receive an award under each plan, to a committee or committees (which term shall include subcommittees) consisting of one or more members of the board of directors (collectively, the “Plan Administrator”), subject to such limitations as the board of directors deem appropriate.

In November 2020, the board of directors and stockholders approved the 2020 Plan and reserved an aggregate of 2,284,053 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan. Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan may be increased on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021, and ending on January 2, 2030, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)4% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on such date or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Plan Administrator.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of ISOs, nonqualified stock options, stock grants, and stock-based awards that are based in whole or in part by reference to the Company’s common stock.

The Plan Administrator may grant options designated as ISOs or nonqualified stock options. Options shall be granted with an exercise price per share not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, subject to certain limitations and exceptions as described in the plan agreements. Generally, the maximum term of an option shall be 10 years from the grant date. The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument that evidences an option the time at which, or the installments in which, the option shall vest and become exercisable.

The Plan Administrator may grant stock grants and stock-based awards, including securities convertible into shares, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or stock units on such terms and conditions which may be based on continuous service with the Company or a related company or the achievement of any performance goals, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion, which terms, conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the instrument evidencing the award.

The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were not material to the financial statements.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

RSUs granted to certain executives, employees and members of the board of directors expire 10 years after the grant date. The awards generally have a time-based vesting requirement (based on continuous employment). Upon vesting, the RSUs convert into shares of the Company's common stock. The stock-based compensation expense related to service-based awards is recorded over the requisite service period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 211,618 RSU awards to certain directors, executives and employees that are expected to vest with eitherone, two orthree equal vesting tranches, annually on the anniversary of the grant date.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For purposes of this table, vested RSUs represent the shares for which the service condition had been fulfilled during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $206 and $842, respectively, of total stock-based compensation expense for RSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025,64,188 RSUs that vested were not issued due to the recipients' elections to defer the conversion into common stock. As of September 30, 2025, there were 126,709 RSUs which had vested, but were not yet issued due to the recipients' elections.

The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, along with additional changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of OBBBA, but does not believe that the tax provisions of the legislation will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase commitments

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company will enter into agreements with suppliers which provide favorable pricing in return for a commitment to purchase minimum amounts of inventory over a defined time period.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, certain claims have been brought against the Company and, where applicable, its suppliers. While there is inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such matters, management has vigorously contested the validity of these claims. Based on available information, management does not expect that the outcome of any matters, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or future earnings of the Company.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring and Nonrecurring

As described in Note 3 –Restructuring and Asset Sales, during 2024, the Company sold approximately 20 acres of the 140 acres of excess owned land at its Goshen, New York location. The Company measured the held-for-sale land asset at estimated fair value based on the agreement, which was considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. The land had a carrying value of $470, which was consistent with the estimated sale price less costs to sell, and thereforeno estimated gain or loss was recorded during 2024. The transaction closed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company did not have any other assets or liabilities that were remeasured to fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the periods presented.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are provided for disclosure purposes:

September 30, 2025 · December 31, 2024
Fair Value Hierarchy LevelCarrying AmountEstimated Fair ValueCarrying AmountEstimated Fair Value

Term LoanLevel 2$114,452$93,851$119,303$95,442

Cash and cash equivalents included funds deposited in banks, and the fair values approximated carrying values due to their short-term maturities. The fair values of other current assets and liabilities including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.

The estimated fair value of finance leases, which were considered Level 3 fair value measurements, were calculated as the present value of the required future cash outflows discounted at an estimated borrowing rate. The fair value of the Term Loan was estimated based on Level 2 fair value measurements and was based on bank quotes. The carrying amount of the Term Loan reported above excludes unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs. Refer to Note 7 – Leases and Note 10 –Debt, for further details of the Company's finance leases and Term Loan, respectively.

The Company did not have any transfers between Levels within the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
